Response

The response panel displays the server's reply to your request. It occupies the right half of the workspace and provides multiple tabs for viewing different aspects of the response: body content, headers, cookies, connection details, and contract validation.

Panel Structure

The response panel has five tabs, each showing different information about the server's response:

TabContent
BodyResponse body with syntax highlighting, format/minify tools, and status information bar
HeadersAll response headers with special sections for CORS and caching headers
CookiesCookies set by the server via Set-Cookie headers
DetailConnection info, TLS/SSL details, certificate, DNS, and size breakdown
ContractJSON Schema validation for response body

Panel States

The response panel shows different content depending on the request state:

Ready

Initial state before sending a request. Shows a prompt to click the Send button.

Loading

Request is in progress. Shows an animated loading indicator with "Sending request..." message.

Success

Response received successfully. Displays the response content in the selected tab.

Error

Request failed due to network error, timeout, DNS failure, or other issues. Shows the error message with optional re-authenticate button for OAuth errors.

Common Error Types

When a request fails, Tigrister displays the error type and message. Here are the most common errors:

Error TypeDescriptionSolution
DNS ErrorCould not resolve the domain nameCheck URL spelling, verify domain exists
Connection RefusedServer rejected the connectionVerify server is running, check port number
TimeoutRequest took too long to completeServer may be slow or unreachable
TLS ErrorSSL/TLS handshake failedCertificate may be invalid or expired
No TokenOAuth token is missing or expiredClick "Re-authenticate" button
OAuth Re-authentication: When an OAuth-related error occurs (401 Unauthorized, token expired), a "Re-authenticate" button appears. Clicking it navigates you to the Auth tab to refresh your token.

Contract Validation Indicator

When you have a JSON Schema defined (either custom or from a project), the Contract tab shows a validation status icon:

Green check
Response matches the schema
Warning
Status code not explicitly defined, matched "default"
Error
Response does not match the schema
Note: The validation status icon appears next to the "Contract" tab label even when you're viewing other tabs, so you can see the validation result at a glance.
